I think adding that check at the entry of vunmap_range_noflush() goes against its design intent. Its job is to tear down the mappings of the given VA range, so even when the caller passes a size that is not page-aligned, we still have to unmap whatever is mapped within that range. So the patch clamps end down to the last full page and keeps clearing. A buggy caller still gets its mapping torn down as far as it goes, and nothing is left behind. The check here is just for protection. This is just my preliminary understanding; I may be mistaken. Thanks Best Regards Hao But that's just my understanding, happy to be corrected. > > >> multiples and stops only at addr == end; with an unaligned size addr >> never lands on end, so the loop cannot terminate and walks off the >> end of the page table. >> >> vunmap_pte_range() has the same loop without any guard, so an >> unaligned range would clear PTEs past end without ever stopping, >> walking off the end of the page table. >> >> Add the check there too.
